EDIT:  Barry has a last-minute trip.  I will be going ahead with the class, but we'll be limiting the atendees to 8 people, so as to still give everyone the personalized attention.  Everything else remains the same, just one instructor and a smaller class.

!NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

Winner of "Best Television Show" at the Los Angeles Independent Television Festival, winner of "Best Drama" at the New York Television Festival, here it is:

This is the first of what will hopefully be many video-blog-podcast-talk-show-cyber-series-webisodes that Chris and I do.  Chris is the director of the Photography program at the Georgetown campus of CDIA, and is an all-around talented photographer and post production guru with experience out the wazoo.  I am just a big nerd.

Let us know what you think and what you'd like to see covered (post comments below).  This show is very much a work-in-progress, and will evolve best if there's maximum community involvement.

Props to the filmmaking students at CDIA, who did all the hard work in putting this together.

Enjoy!
